With this respect, a central goal of semiconductor spintronics is to understand and control the fundamental mechanisms governing coherent phenomena and spin transport. Control of single spins and of the interactions between them is one of the preferred routes towards the realization of a scalable quantum computer in a solid-state system. Devices that enable electrical control of the spin degree of freedom could seamlessly integrate logic and memory functions, thus mitigating power consumption and boosting performances. Semiconductors have also attracted a great deal of attention, because of prospects of implementing quantum spin manipulation with mature microelectronics technology. In particular, spintronic integrated circuits of ferromagnetic metals are now reaching the market. The spin degree of freedom can be harnessed for radically new ways of information processing and communication within a robust and scalable solid-state framework.

The central goal is to showcase and cross-fertilize the many branches of spintronics, providing fundamental insights on newly emerging topics and materials. The symposium offers a venue for the discussion of the latest developments and research efforts related to spin-dependent phenomena in semiconductor systems.
